Portland/Vancouver Monthly Marketing Update- August 2025
We hope you’re enjoying a fun and relaxing summer so far! As we head into August, we’ve got a couple of key events to keep on your calendar.
First up- our Transitions of Care Meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday, August 5th at 11:30 AM. This bi-monthly call brings together providers and case managers from across Oregon and Washington to strengthen communication around hospital discharges, readmissions, and start of care.
This month’s agenda includes:
Ongoing planning for Case Management Week in October
Exploring ways to improve communication with non-skilled care settings
We’re also looking forward to seeing many of our sponsors in person at the Portland/Vancouver Retirement Connection Sponsor Breakfast this Friday, August 8th from 8:30–10:00 AM. It’s a great opportunity to share updates, build connections, and enjoy a morning together with fellow professionals.
We appreciate all you do to support collaboration and quality care in our community. Whether you’re joining us virtually for tomorrow’s call, attending Friday’s breakfast, or connecting at one of the networking meetings later this month (listed below), we’re grateful to be in this work with you.
The “Transitions of Care” meeting’s goal is to improve communication between case management and community providers, especially related to readmissions and start of care following a hospital visit.

Nugget Of Knowledge
"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong."~ Mandy Hale
I’ve learned the hard way that giving energy to toxic situations or letting fear of failure take the lead only keeps us stuck. It’s easy to get caught in the drama or doubt, but growth demands that we rise above the noise. This quote is a reminder: change may be uncomfortable, but staying somewhere you’ve outgrown—out of habit, fear, or misplaced loyalty—is far more painful. Choose to pour your energy into what moves you forward, not what holds you back.
